Not necessarily the end
according to SMG: "There have been absolutely no decisions made. Conversations haven't even begun." BtVS may yet go onto another season, with Buffy.

How bad is the on-the-set communication that Whedon and Sarah do not know where each other stand? It seems strange that SMG would have to "... read [the speculation] this morning in the paper" in order to find out what Whedon is thinking about her involvement in the series.
